Jacques Perret then evokes his passion for rugby: ""On Rancoule's repositioning three-quarter wing of Stade Toulousain whom he later joined on the staff. I therefore had the joy of outflanking the Cardinal's defense and going for the try. It remains for me to convert it by going to embrace my dear Raoul in that army of Princes from whom we still await wonders."" Jacques Perret royalist writer fierce partisan of French Algeria and virulently anti-Gaullist was stripped of his civil rights then in 1963 struck from the military medal roll despite protests from some of his fellow writers suspects that his political positions do not favor honorary decorations: ""I think we were made to sign a manifesto manifestly designed to torpedo my ribbon."" unknown

Boldly attractively penned in brown ink. So profuse is James's apology though that he fails to mention the object of Ballou's note! Amusingly the very next year Ballou's illustrated pictorial founded 1851 passed along this unflattering tidbit from a London magazine: "The American papers report the particulars of a fire in the house of Mr. G.P.R.

Perpignan juillet 1940 21 x 27 cm deux pages sur un feuillet Autograph letter by Jean Cocteau signed with his famous star addressed to his great love the actor Jean Marais. Dated by the author July 1940. One and a half pages in black ink on a sheet. Two small marginal tears not affecting the text. Traces of transverse folds inherent to posting. Magnificent love letter from Cocteau to Marais who formed one of the most legendary artistic couples of the 20th century. Against the backdrop of defeat and German Occupation their unbreakable bond is embodied in this letter from the writer with its desperate accents. Published in the Lettres à Jean Marais 1987 p. 157. This missive from a love-stricken Cocteau was written shortly after the Armistice of June 22 1940 marking the end of the French defeat. Marais mobilized had joined the front in May 1940 while Cocteau had taken refuge in Perpignan. Communication in these troubled times proved difficult: ""Mon Jeannot j'attends toujours ta réponse mais avec une confiance absolue. Ce n'est pas pour rien que notre étoile nous a rapprochés l'un de l'autre et sans doute fallait-il que mes lettres ne t'arrivent pas et que je souffre de mon silence"" ""My Jeannot I am still waiting for your response but with absolute confidence. It is not for nothing that our star brought us closer to one another and no doubt it was necessary that my letters not reach you and that I suffer from my silence"" ""Tu es né chef je suis né chef. Et sous notre étoile rien de ce que nous . ne peut s'annexer ni se perdre. Le principal est de se taire et d'attendre. entre guillemets : les choses ont une manière à elles d'arriver."" C'est à nous de le savoir et de les laisser faire ."" ""You were born a leader I was born a leader. And under our star nothing of what we . can be annexed or lost. The main thing is to remain silent and wait. in quotation marks: things have their own way of happening."" It is up to us to know this and let them do so ."" The Cocteau - Marais partnership would soon return to Paris and endure the torments of the German occupation which would ban the revival of their scandalous play Les Parents terribles which had enjoyed great success in 1939. unknown

Transverse folds inherent to posting. On the verso notes by the translator in ballpoint pen. Jean Cocteau is overworked by several projects: ""I have finished the mixtures of sounds and music for Orphée. I will probably finish the images for Les Enfants Terribles next week. . I do not speak to you of Léone because I look at her feel her steep myself in her - but alas my English allows me nothing more than to breathe in her light ink."" He shares with his translator his great fatigue: ""Then relaxation and fatigue - for fatigue only manifests itself in rest. . I am quite at ease concerning your springs. They do not creak and their flexibility is perfect. Mine nearly gave way on me the evening in Brussels. It is a lesson. I thought myself capable of the impossible. One must ""face the facts"" no one can do it."" unknown

Fold marks inherent to postal dispatch one tear in left margin of the letter at the level of the fold. Jean Cocteau offers profuse apologies while acknowledging mitigating circumstances regarding the emotional burden overwhelming him: ""J'accepte vos reproches avec beaucoup de honte. Mais si je pouvais vous raconter la période que je traverse votre coeur me comprendrait et m'absoudrait."" ""I accept your reproaches with great shame. But if I could tell you about the period I am going through your heart would understand and absolve me."" due to a recently deceased friendship about which he does not wish to reveal more: ""N'en parlons plus et priez pour moi."" ""Let us speak no more of it and pray for me."" Jean Cocteau prefers to discuss his projects: ""Actuellement je me consacre à mon travail de la chapelle du Saint-Sépulcre. Quand je l'aurai construite peinte et rendue digne des chevaliers de Jérusalem je me remettrait sic peut-être à écrire."" ""Currently I am devoting myself to my work on the chapel of the Holy Sepulchre.

195486537Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1954. Fine.

Fold marks inherent to being placed in an envelope. Jean Cocteau explains his silence: his patron and very close friend Francine Weisweiller had been ill: ""Excuse ce long silence. mais on parle souvent de toi. Francine a été très très malade à Kitzbühel en Autriche et longue à reprendre des forces."" Excuse this long silence but we often speak of you. Francine was very very ill in Kitzbühel in Austria and slow to regain her strength. But to cut short his bad news he prefers to recount the enchantment of Seville: ""Nous revenons de Séville. Il pleuvait sur les calèches et les gitanes - mais dans le vieux Séville pareil à Pompéi les orangers embaument."" We are returning from Seville. It was raining on the carriages and the gypsies - but in old Seville like Pompeii the orange trees are fragrant. unknown
195388024Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1953. Fine. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 29 Août 1953 21 x 27 cm une page Autograph letter dated and signed by Jean Cocteau 26 lines in blue ink to Olivier Quéant editor of the magazine Plaisir de France sent from villa Santo-Sospir. Fold marks inherent to postal handling. Quéant journalist and notably editor of the magazine Plaisir de France maintained a fine friendly and literary correspondence with the writer. He notably delivered a glowing review of Antigone at its premiere in 1944: ""depuis Racine l'on avait rien écrit d'aussi beau d'aussi grand et d'aussi profondément humain"" since Racine nothing so beautiful so great and so profoundly human had been written L'Illustration. Jean Cocteau at the twilight of his life rebels and complains about his diminished and merely symbolic role in French theater of the 1950s. The second sentence of this letter will be taken up almost word for word in the famous verses of his longest poem Requiem 1962: ""Il est juste qu'on m'envisage / Après m'avoir dévisagé"" It is right that I should be considered / After having been stared at which will also serve as his epitaph. Despite official recognition Cocteau felt until his death ""méconnu inconnu invisible"" misunderstood unknown invisible Jean Cocteau sur le fil du siècle 2003 - a malaise masterfully expressed through these lines. ""Voilà plusieurs années que j'accepte d'être en secret mis à ma place et publiquement remis à ma place. Bref de n'être pas envisagé mais dévisagé. Il est beau de recevoir des lettres ""retournées"" où Anouilh me dit ""Sans vos pièces je n'aurais pas écrit une ligne des miennes"" et Giraudoux ""Rilke avait raison. Nos figures blanches à côté du hâle de tes séjours dans l'antiquité."" Il est beau d'être comme le Pisanelle - enterré sous les roses ."" For several years I have accepted being secretly put in my place and publicly put back in my place. In short not being considered but stared at. It is beautiful to receive ""returned"" letters where Anouilh tells me ""Without your plays I would not have written a line of mine"" and Giraudoux ""Rilke was right. Our pale faces beside the tan of your sojourns in antiquity."" It is beautiful to be like Pisanello - buried under roses . Interesting and touching missive from Cocteau with disordered and furious handwriting twisting and stretching in the manner of a calligram. unknown
195283726Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat 1952. Fine. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat août 1952 20.80 x 34 cm 52 pages Autograph manuscript by Jean Cocteau early version of the poetry collection Appogiatures - published in 1953 by Éditions du Rocher in Monaco - comprising 47 leaves of thick paper taken from a large drawing pad and 5 smaller leaves of thin paper written in blue ink and blue ballpoint pen. Numerous deletions and corrections. The leaves are numbered up to 25 including one number 8 bis and most bear a small cross or the mythical Cocteau star. The last leaf containing the poem titled ""Lettre"" is dated in the poet's hand August 15 1952. Also in Cocteau's hand the first leaf bears the final title above which is crossed out the initially envisaged title - Soucoupes volantes - the date 1952 and the place - St Jean Cap Ferrat; it also features a crossed-out dedication: ""À la mémoire de Baudelaire et de Max Jacob qui nous apprirent ces exercices de style."" While the collection clearly shows the influence of Baudelaire's Petits Poèmes en prose and Max Jacob's Le Cornet à dés this tribute was not retained in the published version and was replaced by a dedication to the publisher Henri Parisot. An exceptional ensemble containing 33 of the 51 published poems 11 texts rejected on the advice of publisher Henri Parisot and published in ""En marge d'Appogiatures"" uvres poétiques complètes de la Pléiade pp. 818-831 and 6 unpublished texts. David Gullentops in the edition of Jean Cocteau's uvres poétiques complètes in the Pléiade notes the existence of a second set of manuscripts and typescripts preserved at the Bibliothèque Historique de la Ville de Paris BHVP. He further indicates that he had access to no manuscript of the poem ""Lanterne sourde."" Yet this poem is indeed part of our ensemble which would thus be the first version of the collection envisioned by Cocteau. Jean Cocteau began writing this collection of poems in verse and prose commissioned by his friend the publisher Henri Parisot at the end of July 1952 while staying at Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat in Francine Weisweiller's Villa Santo-Sospir. The first version of the collection was completed in mid-August as attested by the two dates on our manuscript ""août 1952"" and ""15 août 1952"" and this entry in Cocteau's diary: ""J'ai terminé la mise au point des courts poèmes en prose pour Parisot. Il y en aura vingt-six à moins que le mécanisme continue ce que je ne souhaite pas car à la longue ces exercices d'écriture illustrés par Baudelaire et Max Jacob fatiguent."" Le Passé défini Tome 1 1951-1952 August 14 1952. Our ensemble would thus be a mixture of the first poems sent to Henri Parisot written with a pen and several added texts written with a ballpoint pen. This hypothesis is supported by the writing of the final title Appogiatures on the title page of our manuscript; Cocteau relates this change again in his diary dated August 29 1952: ""Ai . classé les poèmes pour Parisot sous le titre : Appogiatures."" Our early manuscript version contains significant variants concerning the titles of the poems; thus the poem ""Livre de bord"" was initially titled ""Le Spectacle"" likewise for ""Au poil"" for which Cocteau had previously chosen ""La langue française"" or ""Le tableau noir"" originally titled ""Le lièvre et la tortue."" The order of the poems was also considerably modified for printing: our ensemble shows that Cocteau wished to begin the collection with ""Le voyageur"" which would finally be replaced by ""Seul"" and moved to second position. Also noteworthy in our dossier is the presence of eight poems entirely in verse: these would be removed Appogiatures becoming a collection exclusively in prose. The ensemble heavily deleted and corrected also presents long passages suppressed in the published version for example this very beautiful extract from the poem ""Scène de ménage"" evoking the ""countess"" Francine Weisweiller: ""Et les larmes de la comtesse se disaient : nous sommes la mer. Et la mer se unknown

Fold marks inherent to the mailing. Jean Cocteau waxes bucolically enthusiastic about the place where he resides and works: "". chaque jour je travaille à flanc de colline dans une sorte de ferme exquise où ne fleurisse que les grains qui tombent d'ailleurs."" "". each day I work on the hillside in a sort of exquisite farm where only the seeds that fall from elsewhere flourish."" and rhapsodizes about the local craftsmanship: "". des artisans véritables. travailler chez eux c'est le contraire de lire un journal. On aime voir ce miracle de l'équilibre entre le coeur et la main."" "". true artisans. working with them is the opposite of reading a newspaper. One loves to see this miracle of balance between heart and hand."" He informs Olivier Quéant of his upcoming exhibition: ""J'expose le 15 13 pour la première 6 rue Bonaparte. je ne te demande pas de venir voir mes oeuvres mais leur besogne ils le méritent."" ""I'm exhibiting on the 15th 13th for the opening 6 rue Bonaparte. I'm not asking you to come see my works but their labor they deserve it."" and also explains the aesthetic causes he intends to defend henceforth: "". nous menons la même croisade : celle de soutenir ces braves types qu'on dédaigne comme des aristocrates du milieu ouvrier. Le drame c'est que l'artiste qui tournait amoureusement un pied de fauteuil Louis 15 apporte la même application mais froide à forger la pièce d'une machine qui fabriquera le fauteuil."" "". we wage the same crusade: that of supporting these good fellows who are disdained as aristocrats of the working class. The tragedy is that the artist who lovingly turned a Louis XV chair leg applies the same care but cold to forging the part of a machine that will manufacture the chair."" while lamenting that artisanal traditions and know-how are sinking into oblivion: "". les jeunes refusent d'apprendre le métier par exemple des femmes de soixante ans qui firent ce prodige : ma tapisserie de Judith et Holopherne. disaient : c'est la dernière."" "". young people refuse to learn the trade for example women of sixty who performed this miracle: my tapestry of Judith and Holofernes. said: it's the last one."" He hopes to see his friend Olivier Quéant soon: ""Tu en verras une chez les Weill si tu me fais la grâce de venir et si le déluge parisien cesse et si tu ne dois pas atteindre la rue Bonaparte en arche ou gondole."" ""You'll see one at the Weills' if you do me the grace of coming and if the Parisian deluge ceases and if you don't have to reach rue Bonaparte by ark or gondola."" unknown

Interesting letter filled with disappointment: ""Here is one of my dreams: to speak at Oxford and once again fate opposes it. I have just been very ill.""
